4. Restore the surround speakers to their correct orientation.
The above situation underscores the desirability of using point-source (or line-source) loud-
speakers arranged to give maximum sound intensity at the “sweet spot”. This most readily
complies with the SMPTE
®
5.1 standard for sound reproduction, which specifies coincident
wavefronts at the preferred central listening position, delivered ideally by matched full-range
front and surround speakers. It is only by conforming to this standard that a seamless 360°
holographic soundfield will be easily achieved in the near-field home theater environment.*
*Holographic soundfields are readily compared with their optical counterparts. For example, viewing a credit card
hologram under a cloudy sky (diffuse illumination) gives a flat, poorly defined image, while viewing the same holo-
gram under a clear sun (point source illumination) gives an image with good definition and excellent 3-D properties.
Save Your Setup:
E. Saving Your Setup:
Now that your TheaterMaster is properly configured for your system and balanced for your
home-theater environment, save these settings by pressing
STO - Mem 1
on page 3 of the
remote control’s
TheaterMaster
device [i.e., by pressing
STO
followed (within 2 seconds) by
Mem 1
]. TheaterMaster will beep twice to confirm the memory storage.*
This must be done before disconnecting TheaterMaster from AC power or shutting off the
rear-panel AC power switch, or you will lose your settings!
These saved settings can be recalled at any time by pressing
RCL - Mem 1
. They can also be
updated (i.e., over-written) at any time by pressing
STO - Mem 1
again.
In fact, up to 10 different settings can be stored by pressing
STO - Mem 1, Mem 2, Mem 3,
Mem 4, Mem 5, Mem 6, Mem 7, Mem 8, Mem 9
(and also
Mem 0
for those remote
controls that have a
Mem 0
key) . Any of these setups can be recalled at any time by press-
ing RCL - Mem 1, Mem 2, Mem 3, Mem 4, Mem 5, Mem 6, Mem 7, Mem 8, Mem 9,
etc. (See Chapter VIII: “Customizing Your System: Storing Multiple Setups”.)*
*What gets stored separately in each storage location is speaker volume levels (including master volume), speaker
configuration, and bass configuration (including crossover frequency). Memory no. 1 is the default memory on cold
AC power-up,
so be sure that the master volume in memory no. 1 is set to a comfortable listening level.
